A Treasury of Irish/Celtic Gifts of ALL kinds

These pages look to the Future of Celtic/Irish Studies with the hope that as study and research progress we all can avoid the narrowing of scope of interest which comes from ethnocentric bias (Even Celtic Peoples can be biased you know!!). Do not expect anything here to be politically correct-how could we make these treasures conform to the valid and individual perspectives of each and every reader!?
In addition to folklore I provide direct links to sources of primary information from the " Horse's" mouths. Do not believe that a secondary source accurately conveys the current point of view or position of any political group. Such views are best expressed by the groups themselves,and, fortunately,are adapted and change with time. Also,be aware of the way your own personal,and cultural, folklore has perhaps also twisted reality for the dramatic effect of a good story or for its own political ends. I ask you to view these cultural treasures primairly- as artifacts-as expressions and creations which are valid and important without reference to politically and culturally charged contexts. It is only then that they can become available to all of humankind as dynamic resources.
Now- these works of art and creativity only glow here on your screen as static artifacts, but, they can become truly alive if you will take a minute or so to use them, exercise them, and, after installing them within your own mind- pass them on to another. Another man from the book of kells is here! I hope that you will do this do this so that the accomplishments of generations of those who have come before us to do battle with the deamons of this world will lead to the immediate improvement of the human condition
